Immediately after the fermentation of the raisins of Amarone, the best selection of Valpolicella "passes back" on the Amarone marc, starting the second short fermentation; in this way the alcohol content increases and a product richer in colour, extracts and aromas is obtained.

After ageing in French oak tonneaux for 18/20 months, this is followed by a subsequent rest in the bottle for 6 months.

The result of this process is a refined and concentrated wine, extremely soft and velvety, with intense aromas of small red fruits.
The Ripassa offers the palate fruity scents and a very fine tannin, with an aura of chocolate and spices. It represents one of the most significant wines of the enoic evolution of Zenato.

At this point, the Valpolicella is "pressed" on the Amarone marc for 7-8 days at a temperature of 25-28°C.   This is followed by a period of 18 months of aging in tonneaux and a few months of bottle aging in temperature controlled environments.
